We’ve been posting transit pictures and opened up a Flickr group, but some photographers are worried about the legality of snapping pix on Metro:

kitchen@metrolosangeles are we gonna be arrested for taking pictures while on the metro? probably should inform your “security forces”

I’ve been taking pictures of Metro for years and have never been arrested, but if you’re worried check out Metro’s photography guidelines – there’s just a few – and stick to them.

More commentary on the recent fare incraese:

BigEyedMisha @metrolosangeles why is it that since the fare hike, my busses have been less consistent and more packed? We need more buses more often

jaykaosI remember when @metrolosangeles day passes were only $3. Now they’re $6?! Sad day! How disappointing LA!

Personally, I love the idea – but the truth is most cities do not have 24-hour rail service. New York City is actually a rare exception. Even world-renowned rail transit systems in London and Tokyo shut down around 1 a.m.

Here are some miscellaneous tweets to finish up this week’s roundup:
